Holy Crap! Jimmy Magee still isn't dead!
Think you wanted this thread http://foot.ie/threads/132477-Did-you-know...
I like the new on screen graphics they added, I don't think they had the starting XI for both teams running along the bottom while they were showing highlights last season either.
The new Cult Heroes feature is cool.
disaster - i presumed this was on at 8 . no point in watching it now-rte player later
Richie Ryan, not Gary McCabe and visa versa. Well done MNS.
Seeing that hand ball/penalty call in the Shams - Rovers game again I still don't see where the hand ball was.
Would have helped if they discussed it in the studio and showed another slow mo replay.
Wrong info on MNS- Home to Waterford Utd on Friday night at 7.45.

Try this video here and skip forward to 2:25 to see the incident in question: http://www.srfc.tv/blog/
It's in better quality than the MNS one, you can quite clearly the Sligo player at the end of the wall for some reason charges down the free kick by throwing himself at the ball, and waving his arm in the air above his head. If you follow the flight of the ball you can see it 'loops' in the air after it goes by the wall, so it must have struck the outstretched hand. Good spot by the ref, I didn't see it on the night. Also if you look at the reaction of the Sligo player he knew exactly what he'd done and doesn't contest it. Really was a terrible error from him.
Actually if you watch the video above you'll see that Buttimer puts his whistle to his mouth at the time the ball has bounced for the first time and is walking towards the spot, when he does that Shamrock Rovers players have only had time to put their hands in the air in protest. The free was taken on 2.29 in the above video, it's at 2.30 that he puts his whistle to his mouth and start walking. The refereeing in this league is crap, but that's a good bit of refereeing there.
Yes, RTE sent Tony O'Donoghue up there to do pre and post match interviews with managers, players and fans. Showed brief highlights of the game, Davin O' Neill took his goal very well. Great to see a very healthy attendance at the Brandywell and both sets of supporters having the craic in the Derry City supporters lounge afterwards.
Will it be replayed at some ungodly hour? I was hoping to watch it on full TV instead of RTE player.
Really enjoyed it tonight
-New credits
-New features(ones that I'd say I'll watch)
-New studio setup
-Good music(picked out Mumford and Son, Streets amongst others)
Cheers, just watched it. Drogheda were muck, yeah, O'Neill took that goal really well, and more poor refereeing decisions - disagree with commentary in Pats Utd match that lino got it right, thought from highlights Damien Lynch, just out of shot, was playing them on
Why would you let facts get in the way of a moan about a refereeing decision?!
It looks like it's the linesman that's given the penalty from the referees reaction - you can see him looking over before he gives it and then Richard Brush is having a go.
Stupid defending to be charging a free kick with your hands raised like that.
is the MNS website working for anyone this morning? Can't get video player to work on mine, using Firefox....
Yeah, I just sat through highlights of our win in Drogheda. Didn't realise from the away stand quite how awful Drogheda's defending was for all three goals. They're going to sink without trace if they continue like that.
forgot to set the sky+ to record it until 20 mins in. Luckily got to see dundalks victory. Though dissappointed with Tony McDonnells assessment of Dundalks board and their expectations.
I didn't think Stephen O'Donnell should of been sent off in the Galway - pats game. I didn't think it was a dive
Good new graphics. Cult hero feature a great idea.
Can't believe they did a Reservoir Dogs pastiche - which, even ten/fifteen years ago, had become overused and tiresome (rather typical of RTE's inability to ever come up with an original idea).
But overall - an improvement on last year. Good to see it back.
Ye gads ! after (broadly) complimenting RTE only yesterday on the Bohs/Sporting Fingal coverage I find myself complimenting them again this morning. as MK said above there was a much more professional feel about the new format, this type of programme is what the League has been crying out for and I believe should entice more to LOI.
Also great to see the increased crowds on opening day. All round a rare but welcome good week for the LOI (not quite at the Airtricity league stage yet ;)) long may it last.
One very bad night at the office for jamie harris dosent make a season .First game and all that .We were crap theres no denying that ! We have to get the finger out on sun for the louth derby . Not overly panicking just yet . We picked up one point in 10 games last season so theres hope yet .UCD looked like a fine team , or did we just make them look good ?
We dont often agree but i was at the game right behind the goal and the ref was just about to give the peno when the linesman flagged .The only time the players were offside was in the actual follow up play and the look on the referees face when he realised the lino was flagging for offside was comical. Fair play to the RTE panel for saying that Mr. Sutton has set the bar vey high for any referee this season as some of the tackles in the other games that didnt see the players getting booked were far worse than simulation ,albeit if he didnt jump Gutsy would have went through him, on the halfway line.
The game was over after that but it took a howler from Rhys menell to hand Pats the Insurance goal.
Good opening effort from MNS, and liked the new time too
A little disappointed about Tony Mc over the diving and cheating for the peno in the Bohs game, if its cheating then say it is so..............
And is the email/photo/phonecall segment gone for good?
Watch it again, Guthrie's foot firmly on the ground when O'Donnell dives - if he didn't dive, he'd have run into an outstretched leg, but I don't agree, with Guthrie already having a foot in the ground, would have gone thorugh him. Very difficult to play 70 odd minutes away with 10 men, but onward and upwards, that is in the past, bring on Bray
Is there any chance to watch the video in big? Doesn't like it in that tiny window ... :(
Write a strongly worded letter?

Roddy's in the new photo-shoot pics on MNS facebook so he must be on at some point :).
Glad to see it back

The jacket...:sinister:
Well he has buried enough clubs in his time
Neo Collins
is there anyone that has left the mns panel from last season?
Johnny Mc Donnell left half way during the season to go to Newry City.
